I agree on the optimization point. Optimizing is necessary when you have a large number of index segments that will be merged into one. Another way to keep your segment count low is to use a low merge factor.

I don't think that even if you never optimize the index, the search performance will degrade noticably. But an -optional- nightly optimization would be good too. Note: Indexing with multiple threads can be a problem in Lucene.Net 2.0. If so, you can use v2.1 which can be obtained from svn. DIGY.
